“Think about that for a moment: a six-year-old child with a disability suddenly in a different country, separated from the country he has come to know, now surrounded by silence. The horror stories from this White House continue from ICE.”

7th U.S. service member dies in Iran war;
Trump says using ground troops is ‘possible’
https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2026-03-08/trump-says-u-s-ground-troops-in-iran-possible
WTF? Putin is reportedly providing surveillance to Iran regarding positions of U.S. targets in the Middle East. Trump is aware of this & says nothing. So, trump is putting our troops in harm’s way by allowing Putin to possibly injure or kill them. Do I have that right? Where is the media coverage?

I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.
If you think the global leadership didn't know this would happen, you're naive.
Two known war criminals, with warrants for their arrests, have now expanded their wars.
They all knew.
They did nothing to prevent this.
The American government is the worst of it, as far as complicity.
Shameful.
How Trump’s EPA rollbacks give US states new tools in climate suits

Notice that Trump didn’t attack, insult or disparage one reporter asking questions, as he usually does. He knows attacking Iran, who didn’t attack us, is not popular with the majority of Americans.

6/ Secretary Marco Rubio has repeatedly said no one has died as a result of cuts to foreign aid. Our reporting proves that isn’t true.
Read our full series about the fallout of dismantling USAID here: www.propublica.org/series/the-e...
5/ Peter Marocco and the State Department did not respond to a detailed list of questions, but Marocco has previously defended his actions as a necessary measure to root out government waste and support Trump’s agenda.

4/ In response to our reporting, a senior State Department official said that the changes to foreign aid were necessary and would better serve the U.S. and its allies over time.
“There are people who are dying in horrible situations all around the world, all of the time,” he said.
John Oliver on right, mid-speech. On left, a ProPublica headline dated December 17, 2025 reads: “Inside the Trump Administration’s Man-Made Hunger Crisis.” Below it, an article excerpt reads: “Pregnant women … so desperate for calories that they ate mud.”
3/ Finally, Oliver brought up our reporting on how cuts to aid caused an American-made hunger crisis.
At one refugee camp, mothers had to choose which of their children to feed, and pregnant women were so desperate for calories that some resorted to eating mud: propub.li/4bzIaPi
On right, John Oliver talking to the viewer. On left, a ProPublica headline from February 15, 2025 says: “Trump Official Destroying USAID Secretly Met With Christian Nationalists Abroad in Defiance of U.S. Policy.” An article excerpt below says: "... where he attempted to delay or halt dozens of programs …”
2/ Oliver later referred to our reporting about former USAID lead Peter Marocco.
Officials told us they saw Marocco’s gutting of the agency as a campaign of retribution against those who opposed his foreign policy agenda in the first Trump administration: propub.li/47CkZ4u
John Oliver (on right) gestures with his hands as he speaks. On left, a ProPublica headline from December 15, 2025 reads: “Trump Officials Celebrated With Cake After Slashing Aid. Then People Died of Cholera.” An article excerpt below says: "... turning rows red, yellow or green every few seconds, never asking a single question.”
1/ On yesterday’s @lastweektonight.com about USAID, John Oliver cited several of our investigations.
First up was our reporting about how DOGE operatives had arbitrarily cut aid programs, in some cases by literally clicking through a spreadsheet: propub.li/4cCsSKP
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
